BYD and it's authorized dealers

[Jarlaxle]

I was checking out BYD Seal and realised that there are 3 authorized dealers.

Does anyone has any idea which one is better to go with? Or there's no difference.

I heard motoreast give better trade in offer. I think the one at lengkee is eauto and they are the distributor. The other 2 is dealer. All servicing and warranty go to lengkee if not wrong.

U can join the fb group for more info. I read these info over there. Group name is byd atto 3/dolphin/seal.

Hi bro,
Have you bought any BYD car yet?
Can share which dealer did you buy from if you bought.

Seem Motoreast do their own BYD maintenance servicing at their Defu workshop.

I think it's Vantage, my sis got her Atto3 delivered there with a big ribbon. Car plate holder also put Vantage (Leng Kee).

Went to the one at Suntec to see the Sealion7, they never put any 'name' there, just BYD, say need test drive can arrange.

Vantage is by Sime Motors. Their website says they are the only authorised distributor for BYD passenger vehicles in Singapore. Then what does that means for Motoreast and 1826 ah?

After being in 2 accidents, I am quite concerned about spare parts availability and how quick is the turnaround for repairs.

Saw one holder with motor east just now, I don't have idea on this part actually.

As for spare parts, turnaround, I honestly have no idea as the EV market is still small in singapore for now. I don't even know the range of repairs required per accident.

Vantage is distributor aka AD. The rest are dealer. Warranty all go back to vantage. Example if u have HV battery issue, only vantage can fix for u.

Parts availability depends on parts. Some quite long, take mths. This is what i saw from byd groups. Take note their servicing appt and time is very long. Book one appt can be 1 mth later. Do a regular servicing may takes 1 full day.

Issue is, I thought EV is maintenance free, no oil change etc... I don't know why still need servicing per se... but I guess to put people's mind at ease?

I usually book 1-2 months earlier for my appointments on servicing, so not an issue for me, but still... nevermind. This is something I can't figure out.

Big brother @EJB is right. It's quite maintenance free for EV.

Seems like each dealer now have their own workshop. Motoreast at defu. Harmony at Ubi. Vantage at Leng Kee.

Yup, except for 1826 which has its own restaurant instead of workshop ;-)

There is no Oil Change for EV but EV still use Coolant and Brake Fluid which I think need to be replaced periodically maybe not as often as ICE cars.

Currently I see them put as 6 months for servicing. Not sure if it's just a way to make $ since servicing and parts are going down with EV.

Tesla was telling me that upon car delivery... next service in 2 years' time???

Yeah, TEK was selling their MX-30 EV, every 6 months need to go service with them. I think this is just to sustain their market share and also make some bucks for keeping the car for a few hours 'working' on them.

Every time I go back, used to get introduced to 'promotions', once they know I play car, have workshops servicing my car outside, they no longer try to introduce me to their promotions. I sat in the waiting area, while this Nippon lady walked around to every car owner, trying to sell their coating, she skipped me and went to talk to the next one beside me.

They don't even try to sell 'extended' warranty to me. The after sales sometimes I really find is non-existent... but oh well.. just follow their instructions to go back when needed. LL.

For Lexus EV also same, BM said to go back every 6 months or 10K KM. Each time $4xx. lol

I think more like making money. Upsell u or tell u need to change this wear and tear etc.

Ev is not totally maint free. Fluid need to change or top up but not so frequent. HV batt coolant, motor coolant, brake fluid, steering fluid, gear oil. Depends on which ev. I think some ev no need change gear oil at all. Its a closed system. Need to refer to owner handbook. Other than these, the rest are the usual wear and tear like rotor brake pad etc.

Anything related to engine no need care coz no engine. Like spark plug, gasket, piston, eo and filter etc.
